Daybreak is announced by wake-up calls from kookaburras in the gum trees. Their serenade continues as we follow the aroma of food to a camp breakfast a few hundred metres from the lodge.
The camp fire with its steaming pots adds to the early morning mist. Tropical fruit, bacon, beans, eggs, tea and coffee are waiting for us to help ourselves. A slice of bread held briefly above the flames completes the warming process as the bread changes to toast. Kookaburras, crows and currawongs move in and any leftovers are gone in a flash.
